With this, Gilmour locks up 3 of his regulars on the roster and his young talent to grow through the next 2/3 years. This will also leave only 8 other contracts that are on their last year this season. A few notable names being: Bryan Rust, Tyler Bozak and Martin Marincin are 3 names that you see regularly on the NHL roster.

Maple Leafs Regular Season | News Wire | 2017-2018Leafs Get Beef'er:
[December.29.2017]
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Washington Capitals got in contact with one another and banged out a deal that will give the Leafs another hard hitting future defenceman in the years to come.

The Leafs will be parting ways with speedster LD, 25, Viktor Loov and a 5th Round Pick in the the 2018 Draft. Loov has spent his time in the AHL, but is known for his hard working mindset, his durablity staying healthy and his speed skating abilities.

The Leafs will be picking up another tough guy to keep the front of the net clear for the goalies as they'll be getting RD, 23, Tyler Lewington. He's played in 31 games this season for the AHL team Hershey Bears and has collected 6 goals, 9 assists and 117 penalty minus and has 83 hits on the season so far.

The exchange wasn't too costly for the Leafs, as they're continuing their successful ways from last year. They've even pulled Tyler Bozak off the trade market.

Maple Leafs Regular Season | News Wire | 2017-2018Leafs stick to whats working:
[March.2.2017]
Many Trades were made at the deadline this year, but one notable team decided that they've got what they need and are sticking to what they have. That team being the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Leafs are pretty much secured to be in the playoffs this season to defend their last years amazing Stanley Cup Victory to end the longest drought (Last Cup was 1967) in the NHL. The major parties of that Stanley Cup Victory are still on the roster and they look to repeat this season.

Leafs yet again at the start of the season weren't predicted to be "the team" to watch and weren't even considered a darkhorse of a team. Last season they proved the league wrong and the way they've played all season with key players going down for periods of time, they'll be trying to do it again.

Auston Matthews is the Leafs lead assist/points man. He's ranked (11) in assists in the entire league and (14) in the NHL with points.

Toffoli's the teams top goal scorer and hes only ranked (38) in the NHL.

With their top players not even breaking the Top 10 in either stat some may be worried, but the real deal is that all the Leafs have contributed to this season. They've got 4 players in total with 20 or more goals (Toffoli, Marner, Skinner, Matthews) another 6 players with 10 or more (Richards, Rielly, Griffith, Nylander, Martinez, Ristolainen). Also not Mike Richards has been out quite awhile and he's almost averaged a point a game when he was active (GP:33, G:13, A:14).

The Goalies are the true sign of this team. Namely Frederik Andersen who actually hit the rankings hard in the NHL. These stats obviously can be contributed to the team in front of him as he's had help. Andersen's rankings show:

The fun fact here is Andersen has split alot of time with Murray and Bibeau that hes only ranked 24 for most games played this season (45) but leads the League in wins. 13 other Goalies have player 50 or more in the 62 season games played so far.

All and All. The Leafs have come far from their drought to now and look to be a playoff contending team for the years to come.

Maple Leafs Regular Season | News Wire | 2018-2019Leafs Expected Early Cup Champions:
[October.10.2018]
For the first time, the Leafs are expected as the early Champions by the end of the year.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are back to back Champions the last two years and weren't expected each season to make it even to the playoffs. It seems they've turned some heads and got the early votes for a possible 3rd straight cup win?

Who knows though, they'll be challenged by the likes of Pittsburgh, Montreal, and Washington this season.

So went to continue the progression of this Dynasty and noticed in my load columns I had 2 spots with just . and ..

Also was a sandbox game I stopped playing and the Leafs one I have been writing here. Well in short, I cleared the unwanted .'s ones and went to load the Toronto dynasty and said something along the times "data unknown". I closed it, re-opened the program and I had nothing in my load section...

That being said I am going to need to start another Dynasty because of this... Unsure if I will use Toronto again. But sorry for this, as I was enjoying the dynasty quite a bit.
